The Flash is slated for a March 16, 2018 release date. This project reportedly won't be an origin movie for the character, who was introduced briefly in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. During a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, producer Charles Roven said The Flash and Aquaman standalone movies are "all part of one long arc of storytelling."

Ezra Miller stars as The Flash in Warner Bros.' DC expanded universe. He will appear in Justice League: Part One before the standalone Flash film.

"He's been struck by lightning, that's the mythos," Miller explained recently of his character. "But he's a human. He can run through walls. He can run across water. He can run so fast that he can move into another plain of frequency where there's another reality."

UPDATE: According to The Wrap, "Warner Bros. is said to be pleased with Grahame-Smith’s script, but ultimately wanted a more experienced filmmaker guiding the production."
